HARvEsT.-The weather last week was per.
feet for harvesting crops and hundreds Of acres
Of wheat and grass were cut down. Here and
there is good crop Of wheat, but 1t is the
opinion of the best farmers that the crop, the
county over, will not come up to one.half the
average yield. The grain, too, appears to be
light and far from perfect.
The hay crop will probably be fair one as
to quantity and all that was harvested last
week was saved In good condition.
Oats were promising until Tuesday. when the
storm levelled the fields as etfectually as though
roller had passed over them. Whole fields of
corn, too, particularly those that had been we'll
worked and the ground left light, were pros
trated, and will be more or less injured.
